    About This Event

    Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman at the Winter Garden Theatre assembles a lineup whose work moves between Broadway and television: Christopher Abbott, a Tony nominee for his turn as Biff, joins Laurie Metcalf, Nathan Lane and Ben Ahlers. Their combined backgrounds—from Metcalf's Steppenwolf ensemble roots and Abbott's stage-to-screen restraint to Lane's precise comic timing and Ahlers's focus on grounded detail—direct attention to character work in Miller's text.
